Where is the green book after the second-hand car transfer?
2 Answers
The green book after the second-hand car transfer is kept by the vehicle owner and not carried with the vehicle. Here is an extended introduction: 1. Introduction to the green book: The big green book "Vehicle Registration Certificate" is the legal proof of vehicle ownership, kept by the vehicle owner and not carried with the vehicle. It is required to be presented when handling any vehicle registration such as transfer or change of ownership, and records the relevant information of the vehicle, equivalent to the vehicle's household registration. 2. Introduction to vehicle transfer: When transferring a motor vehicle, the vehicle registrant must present the vehicle registration certificate. The vehicle management office will record the transfer details on the vehicle registration certificate, and after completion, the certificate will be handed over to the new vehicle registrant for safekeeping, not retained by the vehicle management office.
I remember when buying a used car a few years ago, transferring the vehicle records meant moving the vehicle's file from its original location to the new one. The green book, also known as the vehicle registration certificate, is usually given directly to the new owner after the transfer is completed. After completing the procedures at the DMV, they either issue a new book on the spot or mail it to your home in a few days. It's crucial to keep it safe and not misplace it. I lost mine once, and it was quite troublesome to replace, not to mention it delayed the insurance process. Now I've developed a habit of checking all documents immediately after buying a car to ensure the green book has the latest information. This thing is too important—if you're stopped on the road without it, you could face fines, and it's the proof that the car is your property. If you ever want to sell it, you'll need it. I suggest that after transferring the records, if you don't receive it in a day or two, go to the DMV and ask—don't be afraid of queuing.
